Access administration/support business plan

Has anyone out there written a business plan/ proposal for the
establishment of a formal Access support/ administration team in a
corporate environment?

I am preparing to make such a proposal at a very large retailer, and am
looking for any anecdotal references or samples I could work from.
Particularly, any justification around performance, $$ savings/ gains,
etc that a central group can provide.

We have a DBA and Data Architecture team, but they focus only on
enterprise wide projects, leaving the hundreds (thousands?) of mission
critical, but department/ project level databases unsupported except by
the users. Often, contractors are hired, but the long term support
after initial developmetn suffers in this case.
Thanks in advance for any input,

Thomas
